Do you want a DISNEY RESORT, or a resort that is just Downtown? Disney's Port Orleans and Disney's French Quarters resorts are considered to be in the "Downtown" Disney area. If you stay at these resorts you get all the benefits of being at Disney, such as early admission to the parks, free disney transportations,etc. From these resorts, you can also take a boat directly to downtown Disney. There are other resorts in the Downtown area, such as "Double Tree", but they are not considered to be "Disney Resorts".
